Principles of Psychopharmacology:

This brief site provides a brief student primer on the

principles of psychopharmacology

Serotonin: http://www.fairlite.com/ocd/articles/ser90.shtml

This site provides a detailed summary of the chemistry and pharmacology of the nerve cell transmitter serotonin (site includes line drawings). Pharmacokinetics: http://dstumpf.net/das/pharm.cfm This site provides an online tutorial for pharmacokinetics. RxList: The Internet Drug Index: http://www.rxlist.com/ This site allows the user to search a database for information on prescription and non-prescription drugs.

Clinical Trials Listing: http://www.centerwatch.com/

This site provides information on drugs that are currently under study for approval by the FDA, summaries on clinical trials, and lists of drugs recently approved by the FDA.

Acetylcholine summary: http://www.neuro.wustl.edu/neuromuscular/mother/acetylcholine.htm This site provides an overview of the metabolism and receptor subtypes of ACh.

Clinical Psychopharmcology Seminar: http://www.vh.org/Providers/Conferences/CPS/contents.html This site provides a comprehensive listing of medical disorders and associated information on drug therapy.

NEUROTRANSMITTERS: http://dog.net.uk/neurotransmitters.html This resource site will be useful for faculty and students alike. The site reviews the major neurotransmitters as well as neuropeptides. Each section provides a summary of the synthesis and metabolic pathways for each signalling agent. In addition, faculty will find a useful table for each agent summarizing the receptor subtypes (e.g. alpha1 and alpha2), agonists and antagonist drugs for each subtype, and an indication of the nature of the second messenger system (where appropriate). Molecular Expressions Photo Gallery: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/micro/gallery.html This Florida State site contains collections of crystallization photomicrographs of hormones and neurotransmitters (epinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine) as well as a myriad of other objects such as foods, moon rocks, and computer parts. These images represent an artistic means to differentiate the transmitters in addition to chemical structure.

Neuropsychology Central: http://www.premier.net/~cogito/neuropsy.html This is the best neuropsychology site I have been able to find. It has information about all strands of neuropsychology as well as links to organizations, newsgroups, jobs, assessment procedures and free neuropsychology software.
